There’s no denying it anymore. Summer is here. It’s bikini season. And even if you haven’t been exercising and eating healthy in preparation, you’re probably feeling like you should. It’s not too late to do the right thing by your body and get sweaty, but you do have to prepare if you want to stay active and healthy while you head off for all the summer fun you’re going to have.

In this day and age, the traditional gym and trainer method of fitness isn’t your only option. By simply following an exercise plan via an app on your smartphone, you can burn calories and build strength for a fraction of the cost and from wherever your summer adventures take you. It doesn’t matter if you’re off on an impromptu weekend trip, a week-long vacation, or even just hanging out in your own backyard. All you need is the right fitness app, your own music, and some good sneakers.

Spitfire Athlete

Spitfire is the best training app designed specifically for women. It features exercises from real female athletes for you to complete, sends you inspiring stories of females who’ve overcome obstacles thanks to a fit lifestyle, and can be followed with or without weights. How perfect is that for your summer travels? You can take Spitfire Athlete with you to the hotel gym or follow along in a new city park without weights. You won’t have to deal with loss of muscle tone or strength when your vacations over as long as you complete one Spitfire Athlete workout a day.

Nike+ Training Club

If you want a strength program to both travel and grow with you, then this is pretty much the best. Nike+ Training Club provides a ton of free workouts (designed by actual trainers), including strength, yoga, pilates, and HIIT routines. You select the difficulty you want for each routine too. So if you need a difficult HIIT workout, but a beginner yoga sequence, you’re set. The app includes video guidance, audio cues for you to follow, and built-in motivational features, like connecting with friends to keep each other accountable.

This is a great app for you and your workout partner to both be apart of while off enjoying the summer. You can both check in to make sure you’re pushing yourself, so when your vacations are over you’re both ready to get back to the grind.

Nike+ Running

Even if you’re traveling on the cheap and staying in places without gyms, you can still run. With the Nike Running app, all you need to do is set your distance or time goal, hit start and go. Running while you’re traveling is a great way to see the local sights free of the tourist guides or the commentary of others. If you run to a park, then you can also take a halfway break to do some body weight exercises from another fitness app.

Yonder

Yonder is great for hikers, mountain climbers, general outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone looking for some sight recommendations while traveling. Yonder uses your current location to show you nearby outdoor attractions. If you’re an avid runner, this is a great app to use when mapping out where you’ll run while traveling. No one wants to head out for a run while on vacation and not be guaranteed some good views. This way, you’ll be able to enjoy the city in all its unique, not-so-tourist-packed glory while you sweat out the vacation calories.  So if you want to take a run through a park, go on a hike to soak in the natural beauty of your vacation spot, or explore some lesser known spots in a historic city, then Yonder can help you out.

Freeletics

Like it says on the website, Freeletics is like a personal trainer in your pocket. Workouts are short and sweet so you can get back to your fun vacation plans and still see results. There are workouts for anyone, both men and women, and all fitness levels. You can choose from body weight workout plans, running plans, gym plans, and follow along with their nutrition plan. There’s a ton of variety to help you shake things up and continuously increase your physical strength.

If you’re traveling without gym access, then the body weight and running programs can help you stay fit and the nutrition plan can help you stay on track as you eat on-the-go. The app allows you to connect with others and provides motivation to help you stick with it too, like all fitness apps should!

Traveling so easily derails most of us from our health and fitness goals, but with the right arsenal of fitness apps in your hands, you can defy the odds. Why not just download all of them to guarantee you have the widest range of exercise options?
